Featured Capitol Hill Hotels

The Hotel was all that the pictures showed it was. We had a great room on the 15th Floor looking out onto the Capitol Building - Room 1517 - Deluxe Double - Will definitely go back to this Hotel. We were 2 Blocks from Union Station, so you could take the Train in and walk to the Hotel or take a short Taxi Ride. Staff was very friendly & helpful.

My wife and I spent two nights at the hotel as a post-Christmas getaway. This is our second time here and again we were not disappointed. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to the Mall and many attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful. The two restaurants onsite are more than adequate and we would recommend them. If I had to complain about anything it is the $31 per day fee to park in the garage. A bit much I think. Otherwise the place is really good and we will certainly ly return.

I stayed here for 5 nights by myself at the beginning of August and had a wonderful time. My room was large, clean, well decorated and quite luxurious. The bed is amazing. If I could have gotten it home on the plane I would have. I haven't slept so good in years. The one thing I found a little odd was no plug ins in the bathroom. It worked out as there was one right outside the door but still odd. I LOVED the products (shampoo, conditioner, soap) in the bathroom. Really great quality. The negative comments from other reviewers regarding the size of the bathroom is kind of funny considering it has everything you need so I'm not sure why it needs to be bigger. I tried out the restaurant for breakfast. The food and service were fantastic. My waiter was great and made excellent recommendations. I thought the prices were expensive but typical for a city. No more than I would have paid somewhere else. I also experienced the roof top bar. The bartender, Jay, was fabulous. He seemed to really care for his customers and his drinks were great. Again, expensive but typical for a city. The pool was smaller than I thought it would be but the whole space was really beautiful. I received outstanding service from the second I pulled in to the second I checked out. The location is perfect. I was in DC for vacation and I walked to everything from the hotel. Love this hotel and have every intention of returning.

My wife and I had our wedding reception at this beautiful hotel in May of this year. The staff was wonderful to us and our guests. The rooms were beautiful! The views were fantastic. Just a short walk to the Capitol and Union Station right across the street. Our wedding coordinator, Tracy Zahn, was amazing. Our wedding reception and our stay at the Phoenix was everything we ever imagined. They made such wonderful memories for us. If you are having a wedding or an event, Tracy Zahn, makes you feel like you are her only priority. She is passionate about what she does. Our guests just raved about the food. Everyone who works on the catering/event team really took care of us and our guests.

Room cleanliness was of top quality. Service was excellent. My son and I ate at the restaurant and the service was wonderful, the food excellent. Food prices for being located in D.C. was quite reasonable and great value. Amenities were of top quality. The room wasn't particularly inexpensive. However I have stayed at more and less expensive hotels in the area, and by far the Mandarin Oriental would be my first choice hands down. Will look for this smaller chain of hotels elsewhere in my and my families future travels. Location was just a bit out of the way for a family stay to see all the attractions but well worth the comfort. I highly recommend this hotel!

Overall this hotel gets good marks for location, hospitality and the room itself. It gets knocked down for promising a free continental breakfast until 10:30 am on Christmas morning and not delivering. We went down at 9:55 and there was nothing left. Bah humbug!
On the other hand the free wine each evening is a very nice touch.
It was annoying to require a registration to get free internet.

The Capitol Hill Hyatt Regency is three blocks from the US Capitol and about the same distance to Union Station. You can really get around DC by using the Metro with it's subway station scattered through out the city. The Hyatt also has a tour stop at its front door so you can catch a day or night bus tour. There are several "Bike Share" stations in a 3 block radius. It's a nice way to see DC.
There are not too many affordable hotels along the National Mall but this can be one of them if you know when to visit DC. There are always cheaper hotels to be found when Congress is not in session because unlike other vacation cities, it's actually cheaper to stay in DC during the weekend or a holiday.
The Article One Grill has some great food but can be pricy for some, especially those with families. Breakfast or lunch for one on the average will run you about $15 to $25 with tip and dinner will run about $25+. Try the West Wing Deli next door for great sandwiches made with Boars Head meats and fast service.
The Hyatt also has an gift shop and store that has snacks, drinks and souvenirs and you can get your favorite Starbucks drink there as well.
The one thing no one tells you is that there is a firehouse across the street and you will be hearing sirens during the day as well as the night. It is possible to ask for a room away from the street and those sirens.
I have stayed here two different times and I love the friendly service, the clean rooms and the great location of the Capitol Hill Hyatt Regency.
I recommend this hotel to all because of it's location not only to the Capitol but to Union Station as well but I also recommend the hotel because it's everything a hotel should be.

I picked this hotel because of it's proximity to Union Station and the Newseum, where I had to attend an event. My room was clean and comfortable and the staff was cheerful. The breakfast was much better than any free breakfast I've had at comparable places. But you do have to leave the hotel and walk around to the other side of the building to get it.
The big disadvantage, which I encountered on the way to my event, is that because it's a small hotel, there are no cabs around. If you have to go to somewhere in formal dress (heels!) you will not find a taxi easily and should ask them to order one long before you need it. If you are in any sort of rush, you'll be frustrated by the fact that the staff is small, dealing with multiple travelers, and the wait for a cab is loonnngg.
They are kind, however, and that goes a long way with me.
